Maison Saint-Cyr by Gustave Strauven

It was Gustave Strauven – mentored by Horta and assistant to the creation of Hôtel van Eetvelde – who took over the Art Nouveau baton from the Modernist pioneer. His splashy Maison Saint-Cyr on Ambiorix Square reveals an unequalled commitment to wrought iron embellishments and an overall flamboyant aesthetic.
